what was the pinnacle of Covid clown world for you?

Except a ton of people knew this was going to be the outcome, yet the government steamrolled any dissent. There will be other pandemics, and hopefully we have learned from the last one and will avoid COVID mistakes next time.

For me, the height of absurdity was when doctor's offices had to close for any elective procedures, but government-owned weed dispensaries were kept open. That's when I knew it was all a joke.

They move the goalposts and don't take accountability for their past claims. If we examime them from the beginning in 2019: wrong/wrong/wrong/wrong/wrong. Changed definitions, altered claims, double standards, constant censorship of the truth to protect their narrative, even disturbing shaming/cancelling/firing of people who were right all along. Ego is difficult to let go of for these individuals. But for a lot of people, their livlihoods/jobs are and were on the line. They remained complicit but i will acknowledge the institution set them up with a lot to lose. Great scheme, albeit an evil one from the institution and big fraudmaceuticals.

Outdoor track meets being canceled. Apparently still are. This one in California held in September is being canceled again as a precaution.

Dear Athletes, as a precaution we have decided to cancel this year's meet due to the corona virus pandemic. We hope each and everyone of you stay healthy and safe, and look forward to seeing you in 2024.

In fairness, there was clownish behavior on both ends of the spectrum, from people believing the virus was a hoax to people vigorously cleaning their groceries after getting home from shopping.

To me, the most significant thing was the clownish behavior of Trump. A crisis like that can be a GIFT to a president up for reelection because it’s an opportunity to unite the country to achieve a common goal. Instead, he downplayed the seriousness of the situation, spread lies, fought with scientists, and turned covid into a divisive political issue. His mismanagement of covid was a complete failure of leadership, and it’s a big reason Biden beat him in the election.

How about when Trump got Covid and was in the hospital? That has to be up there.

People making Dr. Fauci out to be a villain and sending him death threats was both dumb and despicable.

My favorite was when Covid deniers died of Covid.

Filling the skate parks with sand was just sad.

Both the Venice Skate Park and the San Clemente Skate Park were filled with tons of sand last week to encourage social distancing to diminish the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

This obsession with grandstanding as brave, enlightened "patriots" is both hilarious and sad. There will be a pandemic in the future with a more lethal disease than covid, and Dunning Kruger idealogues who can't control their narcissism and need for attention will cause even more death than they did in this previous pandemic.

The Mask-No Mask nonsense was F'ing ridiculous. I was basically jumped and then jumped again by both sides for wearing one, and then for NOT waring one. It was absolutely crazy contradiction BS to the MAX! I honesty didn't care whether you did or didn't wear one - IT'S YOUR CHOICE; So..... F-OFF! I honesty do care about people and wouldn't want anyone ever to get sick for any reason, except "Hitler-types"...... But please leave me the hell alone and stop trying to be the "COVID Mask Police"!!!!! It was so beyond stupid and there was no way to perfectly contain contact surfaces, door handles, etc.. and airborne particulates thoroughly - impossible!

My anti vax brother in law purposely going into public sick with Covid because it was ‘good for society.’

Probably rojos biased moderating

Yeah, this is completely wrong. I'm neither American nor 'Right', and couldn't care less about US gun laws. Also, I have advanced STEM degrees. And, I most certainly did not take a stance against 'science'. I simply had the courage to question flip-flopping, which clearly indicates an absence of actual science, and the common sense to know that there was all kinds or unscientific nonsense being pushed by governments and pharmaceutical companies.

I find it amazing how so many big pharma cool aide drinkers don't know the facts, such as that the drug companies never even tested for transmission let alone knew, with science, that the vaccine prevented it, yet scream at "the right" for being dumb or selfish or uneducated.

This is correct and the right thing to do.

If you are old or weak, stay home. People with well functioning immune systems can easily fight off Covid. This is basically what the Great Barrington declaration said, which by the way is based on extremely highly accepted best scientific practice for how to deal with something like covid.

previous week: yelled at by old ladies for wearing a mask and running.

next week: yelled at by old ladies for not wearing a mask and running.

Harambe was peak clown around here.

Sadly some are still fishing for COVID sympathy in 2023.

This is unequivocally false. They can't "easily" fight it off. What they can do, though, is recover quickly from it without getting really sick. They may have a few days of headaches, muscle soreness, dizziness, etc, but they can't fight it off.
